Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a threaded balloon and balloon catheter. Background Technology
[0002] Medical devices refer to instruments, equipment, appliances, materials, or other articles used alone or in combination on the human body, including the necessary software. Their therapeutic effects on the human body, whether on the surface or inside, are not achieved through pharmacological, immunological, or metabolic means, but rather through auxiliary functions. During use, they are intended to achieve the following purposes: prevention, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and alleviation of diseases; diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, alleviation, and compensation for injuries or disabilities; research, replacement, and regulation of anatomical or physiological processes; pregnancy control.
[0003] Aortic stenosis (AS) is a type of heart disease. Percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty is one of the more effective measures. The basic procedure is as follows: through interventional techniques, a balloon catheter is inserted into the stenotic area of the aorta. The balloon is dilated to break up the junction, break up the calcified plaque, elongate the stiff leaflets, and enlarge the valve annulus.
[0004] A threaded balloon and balloon catheter are commonly used devices in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In the process of treating lesions with traditional aortic balloon dilation catheters, most methods involve spraying a coating drug that inhibits cell proliferation onto the surface of the balloon. After the balloon is dilated, the drug is rapidly transferred from the balloon surface to the blood vessel wall to inhibit endothelial cell proliferation. However, after the balloon enters the blood vessel through the connector, some of the drug is lost due to friction, and some is also lost due to blood flow. After balloon dilation, some of the drug on the balloon surface is still lost, and ultimately only a small amount of drug is coated onto the blood vessel wall and utilized, affecting the treatment effect. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a threaded balloon and balloon catheter, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the loss of some drugs due to friction after the balloon enters the blood vessel through the connector; the loss of some drugs due to blood flow scouring; and the loss of drugs on the balloon surface after balloon expansion, resulting in a limited amount of drugs that can ultimately be coated on the blood vessel wall and utilized, thus affecting the treatment effect.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a threaded balloon, including a fixed catheter, characterized in that: a connecting ring is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed catheter, an expansion component is provided on the surface of the fixed catheter away from the connecting ring, a balloon inflation port is provided on the surface of the connecting ring, and a drug delivery tube is provided inside the fixed catheter corresponding to the connecting ring.
[0007] Furthermore, the expansion assembly includes an expansion ring fitted onto the surface of the fixed conduit. The expansion assembly has two rings, and an expansion frame is provided between the two expansion rings. The expansion frame contains a liquid spraying assembly.
[0008] Furthermore, the liquid spraying assembly includes multiple liquid delivery chambers opened inside the extension frame, and several liquid discharge ports evenly and equidistantly arranged are opened in the middle of the surface of the extension frame, and a communicating cavity is opened inside the extension ring.
[0009] Furthermore, multiple liquid delivery chambers are arranged in a ring array inside the expansion frame. The liquid outlet on the surface of the expansion frame is connected to the liquid delivery chamber inside the expansion frame. The two ends of the connecting channel inside the expansion ring are connected to the liquid delivery chamber and the liquid delivery pipe, respectively.
[0010] A balloon catheter comprising a threaded balloon, and further comprising:
[0011] A balloon is fixedly fitted onto the surface of a fixed catheter, the fixed catheter having a guidewire inside, and the balloon corresponding to and located within the expansion assembly.
[0012] Furthermore, a blood passage is formed on the surface of the fixed catheter near the balloon. There are four blood passages, which are arranged in a rectangular array inside the fixed catheter. One end of the drug delivery tube passes through the connecting ring and extends to the outside.
[0013] This utility model provides a threaded balloon and balloon catheter, which have the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This threaded balloon and balloon catheter, through the arrangement of the balloon, balloon inflation port, expansion component, drug delivery tube, and drug spraying component, allows the balloon to be inflated through the inflation port after reaching the patient's lesion, thus supporting the expansion component and embedding it in the lesion. The drug delivery tube then delivers medication to the drug spraying component to treat the lesion, effectively treating the lesion and preventing restenosis after vascular intervention. This significantly improves the practicality and applicability of the device. Attached Figure Description
